Maxwell - not sure wether you're being chased by enemies or followed by friends on a mission, but either way this is perfect.
Ciara - you look like a true jungle goddess!
Tinsley - wish you would have gotten a few more couerls in the background, but even so it gives me the "queen of the pack" feel about to go hunting.
Yunie - you look like a witch/sorceress who just detroyed a city, love it, but wish you showed more of the mounts face.

The others I didn't choose for the same reasons; I feel the backgrounds didn't match the mount, and we're underwhelming in any sort of story sense. This was a hard week to shoot I'm sure! Well done everyone.

My top four
1. Kurri: A great action shot! I like the dynamic angle, your pose, and your expression.
2. Yunie: Cute as always but you added a bit of mischief as well, giving the piece great character. I also like that you picked a background that complemented the color of your mount and you used rule of thirds.
3. Maxwell: An intriguing piece. I like how you angled your body, how you framed the other two ahriman, and your color story. If only you had cropped out that empty right side, you would have gotten a higher vote from me.
4. Tinsley: I like your outfit, your angles, and that you tried to add more coeurls but this isn't as dynamic as the other three... >A>()

And for the others
5. Ciara: I had a hard time choosing between this one and Tinsley for 4th but in the end, I though Tinsley's angles were a little more flattering.
6. Jayzan: I liked Vahn's more then this picture BUT I feel your's has more going for it, in a technical sense. You're using rule of thirds, have a little more of a dynamic angle going on, and you've balanced the piece with the lightning. However, I feel like this needs better lighting because everything kind of gets muddled together, especially with the rain covering everything and that you should have zoomed in a little more to make the picture less busy.
7. Vahn: I thought your picture's layout was too centered for me. If you had turned your mount a little to the side, while still facing the camera, you would have had a more interesting angle. You might also want to think about rule of thirds and asymmetry. Having said that, I like how clearer your picture is (versus Jayzan's) and I like your background (especially how asymmetric it is).

Top 4 ( In order of picture on imgur )
Jayzen- I like the atmosphere you chose to use for this picture. I feel like if the lightning wasn't there or framed the way it is it wouldn't have worked.
Kurri- I like that it looks like you're commanding the magiteks to fire and the light hits your character well created by the effect
Maxwell- I like the composition of the 3 ahriman that you used and all 3 ahriman are unique ( yellow w/ blue eye, yellow w/ yellow eye, purple w/ yellow eye )
Tinsley- It was close between you and Ciara for me, the outfit you used matched well and I liked the perspective you gave. Only issue I had was it felt dark.

Bottom 3
Ciara- I would have picked this one over Tinsley if you had used a different outfit. The outfit matches but it was the same as your waterfall outfit with minor adjustments (from my perspective). A little too safe for me.
Vahn- I feel like if you used a different background you could have gotten away with this one more. The ahriman feels out of place for the area you chose.
Yunie- I don't think this is a bad shot, but I thought the requirements for the shot were to be in motion based on the OP's description. I feel I would have picked this over Jayzen's if that were the case.

You prefer to see another 20 threads about house prices or why this community is horrid instead of a fun thread that contradicts everything the doomsayers toss down? Regardless....


This was a hard round, getting a shot of a mount in motion is not an easy task while still trying to maintain angle/lighting/expression/pose, with that said, good job to everyone this round for making an attempt of it.

Ciara - I totally dig the Jane of the Jungle feel for this, it was quite hard to tell if the mount was moving in this photo but, you can see it closely enough, good clean shot.

Jayzan - OMG ITS TOO DARK (inside joke at this point) I loved it, this was my first thumbs up for you, and there is a reason, you stepped up the game now that its getting to the final rounds, keep up what you been tossing down last couple rounds!

Vahn - I have never seen a mount so happy to have someone on it before...good scenery, and actually a good appropriate distance shot going on overall.

Tinsley - This shot was hard to figure at first (for story I mean) but, after a few seconds of staring I found a lot of good qualities in this, coloring and matching of armor to the mount was good, for me this felt like it was just a casual stroll through the wilderness

KUDOs again to all contestants for a really hard shot to do.
